A Vision for Johns Hopkins
The Ten by Twenty, which was released in May 2013, is an articulation of priorities for the university.
It seeks to map our exceptional history, the approaching challenges, and the boundless opportunities that lie ahead. The plan took shape through conversations across the university over several years, and in particular, more than 35 discussion sessions with over 1,000 members of our community—faculty, students, staff, alumni, deans, and trustees.
The conversation about our collective future is only beginning—and your thoughts will help shape our path forward. Visit our 2020 Update and the online 2019 progress report to read about our progress.
